Integrations are crucial to making the IoT a global ecosystem of connected infrastructures. With a growing rate of innovation and adoption of RTLS solutions in various industries, we’ve moved forward to the solution side after developing our integration with Cassia Networks on the infrastructure side. We’ve now completed our infrastructure integration, which gives Kontakt.io customers a reliable method of monitoring and managing their Bluetooth-LE devices, and Cassia’s customers have a seamless out-of-the-box RTLS solution without the need to spend resources on developing their own integrations.

5. Cassia Networks: Company Overview
_________
● Leading provider of enterprise Bluetooth IoT products and solutions
● Patented award-winning technology provider
● Led by serial entrepreneur and wireless technology veteran Felix Zhao
● On a mission to solve the IoT connectivity, locationing and management
challenges faced by today’s enterprises and make IoT easy
7. What is Asset Tracking
Asset Tracking Solutions Outcomes:
● lets you see real-time and historical location of
tracked assets and people
● allows processes to be optimized and helps
employees to focus on activities that bring more value
to the organization
● helps achieve next-level operational efficiencies
thanks to the insight into how physical objects move
Asset Tracking, also known as Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) or Indoor Positioning Systems
(IPS) is a method used for the purpose of tracking, locating and monitoring the activities of
people and things by using e.g. BLE beacons that broadcast their physical location.
8. Attributes of Ideal Asset Tracking Solution
● Provides right accuracy at right price point.
● Software platform is hardware agnostic, allowing for future
proofing and scaling as needs expand.
● Introduces minimal workflow friction (Barcode & NFC-based
tracking requires manual action).
● Software platform integrates with 3rd party software.
